I made Sarah a miniature DSLR camera, and she hasn't stopped taking pictures since. The strap is plaited thread, and I used some scraps of gold faux leather to secure it to the camera. I thought about making the strap removable, but I think that would have tested my patience beyond measure. Naturally, the strap's… Continue reading Mini Pictures

Little Cat
I made this little cat for a friend's birthday not long ago, from a Ravelry pattern that can be found here. He's holding a little red ball, as I felt he was a little bland and boring without it. Plus, he needs something to play with. The recipient was very happy with him, and named… Continue reading Little Cat
Trophies
Recently, I finished up a pair of little trophies. They're made of some old charms I had lying around, which I cut the loops off, glued on some popsicle sticks and repainted. They were meant to be Schleich scale... ...but I think they're a little large. Fortunately, they are a better scale for Breyers. Everyone… Continue reading Trophies
Artist’s Supplies
In addition to the box of horse supplies, I also re-painted the box for Sarah's art stuff. There are a few paint stains, as you can see. I even put a few on the inside, because someone has probably knocked it over accidentally with an open paint tube inside at some point. I feel this… Continue reading Artist’s Supplies
Bigger Bottles
Along with the little bottles I made for the Schleich stable, I also made some Traditional scale ones. They're the same labels, but the bottles themselves are different in some cases. Left to right: cooling spray for the clippers, hoof oil (which I made a while ago), tack soap, fly spray, tack wipes and leather… Continue reading Bigger Bottles
Happy Father’s Day

The Bottollion
I feel like I've made a small battalion of bottles for the stables. (badum-tsh!) But first, the hooks outside the stables are done, and are being put to use. The saddle racks also got hung, so the tack room looks a little less cluttered. Here's all the different bottles I made: There's a tack soap… Continue reading The Bottollion
Stable Updates
Last time you all saw the stable, it didn't have interior walls yet. It has come quite a long way since then. Not only does it have walls, but it also has chain stall guards: and a bit of furniture waiting to go in. These were all made of popsicle sticks, and they've been stained… Continue reading Stable Updates
Magazine Boxes
Sarah's magazines have been getting a wee bit messy just loose on the shelf, so I made some magazine boxes for them. The box came from a Desktop Stables printable, and the model horse magazines and catalogue came with the template, so I thought I'd make those as well. Why not? The boxes are made… Continue reading Magazine Boxes
Book Swap Success
This week I went to a local book swap, and swapped three of my unloved books for three shiny, new-to-my-shelves books that I had read and loved. I am a big fan of Sarah J Maas' work, after a friend introduced me to the Throne of Glass series. Aren't the covers beautiful? Even the spines are… Continue reading Book Swap Success
